In late 2014, Hyundai launched the Genesis large sedan, the flagship of the local passenger car range and the precursor to the introduction of Genesis as a standalone brand.

Fast forward to mid-2019, and the Genesis marque has finally landed Down Under, with the Genesis sedan – now renamed G80 – representing the flagship for the two-model range.

With a slight trend upwards in price, the G80 range has also been updated lightly with some additions to specification and slight mechanical alterations.

Given Australian customers have a dwindling appetite for large luxury sedans, does the G80 have what it takes to lure buyers to the Genesis brand?
